Bronty Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) Well, it wasn’t a continuation in the US. Perhaps it was in Canada? Imagine a series of one shots as they obtained license to reprint various books. Of course, I am pulling this from back nether regions.

Presumably this was for tax and liability purposes of some sort, but I've never seen a real explanation of why there were so many. They cover it pretty well in this book. http://www.tcj.com/reviews/the-secret-history-of-marvel-comics-jack-kirby-and-the-moonlighting-artists-at-martin-goodmans-empire/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we used Billy's copy to verify that, which I don't believe he owns anymore. I don't have one for reference, sorry. Yes, very interesting! porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason, the left of his tie doesn't have the blood soaking through on the American copy. Kind of a fun variant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right along what I was thinking.I have a few Hi Comics (#5,11) that seem not to have the missing numbers/issues ever been.I think I also have a number in the twenties of that series,and it's Blackhawk reprints? Maybe @Subliminal knows,or Stephen ecccomics? Jeffro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtherEric Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Found in the wild today. I'm in the Seattle area, so near enough to the border that Canadian books turn up occasionally: porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzutak Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Very cool. I picked up a nice looking copy of Lucky Coyne Comics back in 2018: The book has just returned home from a short vacation in Sarasota, carrying a brand new title: Highest CGC-Certified Copy. Unfortunately, it'll be making one more round trip soon, as this is the Super Publications version rather than the Rucker Publications version. If y'all would pay attention to my submission form, there would be no need to guess. D-oh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
